18(A).   eople cannot be morally responsible for things over which they have no control. Therefore, they should not be held morally responsible for any inevitable consequences of such things, either. Determining whether adults have any control over the treatment they are receiving can be difficult. Hence in some cases it can be difficult to know whether adults bear any moral responsibility for the way they are treated. Everyone, however, sometimes acts in ways that are an inevitable consequence of treatment received as an infant and infants clearly cannot control, and so are not morally responsible for, the treatment they receive.

Anyone making the claims above would be logically committed to which one of the following further claims?

(A) An infant should never be held morally responsible for an action that infant has performed.

(B) There are certain commonly performed actions for which no one performing those actions should ever be held morally responsible.

(C) Adults who claim that they have no control over the treatment they are receiving should often be held at least partially responsible for being so treated.

(D) If a given action is within a certain person’s control that person should be held morally.（E）

(E) No adult should be held morally responsible for every action he or she performs.

A 错在哪里？

No control ---àno responsibility

Infant no control -----à infant no responsibility

People act like infant ----àpeople have no responsibility

A 不正是符合Infant no control -----à infant no responsibility吗？

But E is also talking about an action he/she performed

shouldn't E be better is it says "No adult should be held morally responsible for an inevitable consequence of an action/the treatment they receive he or she performs.

insead of an action he/she performed?

my previous explanation should be modified to "wether children should be responsible for the treatment they recieved". Sorry for my inaccuracy. i sort of only had A in mind.

the stimulus  includes four points:

1)people should not be held morally responsible for things they have no control

2) people should not be held morally responsible for the consequence of such things

3)children have no control over the treatment they received

4)therefore, some actions of adults are the consequence of the treatment they received as infants, so they should not be held responsible for such actions

A is therefore wrong. (see 3)

E is therefore correct (based on 4)
